It's Finally Fall!

This week has been great so far! Fall began on Monday, so I celebrated by baking pumpkin bread. Then I ate too much, so I have been furiously exercising. Today I ran (I haven't been running in at least 2 years)...it was not good. I felt so sick for about half of an hour. I'm okay now, and I wish I could run pain free. Walking just takes so long. I need an exercise plan. Anyway, so I got a phone call today from Bravura, the dress shop, and...my dress is in!! The only problem is that it needs to be picked up. My mom is going out of town this week, and I don't have time to start getting the dress altered yet. I was definitely glad that I've been exercising lately considering that the dress is in. Now I am getting so excited about everything! Also, my dad was supposed to tell the photographers that we chose them today (www.simple-color.com). Everything is smoothly coming together. We even have cake tasting, wedding planning, and design appointments the week that Christmas break begins. I am so on the ball...so far. I don't have colors picked out yet though. That needs to be done kind of soon. Oh yeah, and Christopher hasn't told the person who will be officiating the wedding that they will be doing it. But I guess I'm still on the ball. Fall makes me giddy. I feel like a high school girl who had a crush on some studly guy who just talked to me when I feel a fall breeze. Actually, it's better than that! Imagine that...I know, it's hard to. The only bad thing about today is that I have class tonight and have to get up early to sub tomorrow. Substituting is not too much fun (neither is class), but maybe I'll enjoy it tomorrow.

It's Pumpkin Spice Latte time!

Of course I sign up on blogger.com and never even blog. I love starting new things, but I never go through with them (that's one of my faults). So, honestly, nothing has been going on since the last post. When school is going on, life seems to be dull. I can't wait until school is no more, and I'm teaching. So football is great so far. I'm excited to have a free weekend since the game is in Arkansas...way too far away. Atlanta (shopping), here I come! So my new goal is to eat healthy and exercise often. So far, so good, though I only started yesterday. 

About the wedding, nothing else has been planned so far. I am aware of how weird that must sound. Most girls have planned their wedding day from the time they were little girls...well, not me. I wanted to get married and all, but I didn't plan my color scheme when I was five...sorry! I still don't have one, so don't ask me what it is. I think we have chosen a photographer, but I'll let you know when it's final. So, I still have only booked the venue, catering, and I have a dress. Tomorrow I should be more productive.

Good news! It feels like fall outside, and it's pumpkin spice latte time again! Go get one while they're in season. And you should make and eat lots of pumpkin bread now!! I feel inspired to make some except for the fact that it's late...maybe tomorrow.
